One Pucking Wish by Ellie Wade

Gunner Dreven, the star goalie of the NHL team The Cranes, is known as a beast both on and off the ice. He usually sports a scowl and isn’t one for conversation, though he’s no stranger to the occasional bar fight.

Penelope Stellars is as closed off as they come, with very little social life outside of work. She thrives on staying busy as the PR and social media manager for the Crane Hockey team.
The two are perfect enemies. Gunner can’t stand Penny and the way she always bosses him around. Penny hates how hard Gunner makes her job with his inability to control his temper.
The pair finds themselves stranded after they’re caught in a snowstorm and are forced to wait it out while sharing the last motel room available. Agreeing that a temporary truce is in order, they put their differences aside while they’re stuck together.
Only when they return to the real world, they find it hard to remember why they hated each other in the first place. Annoyance is replaced with a longing that’s hard to ignore. They discover that they are more alike than they realize.
Their undeniable chemistry doesn’t change the reasons they were single in the first place. Is it possible for two broken people to heal enough to make it, or is their relationship doomed for the inevitable heartbreak?
